Corner Bookstore (DIY Miniature House)
This is a medium-sized kit, not the easiest or most challenging in the series. I love the little table outside and the variety of book titles. Something for everyone in this shop!
A lovely bookstore with enormous details such as books, bookshelves, little bear doll, prints , and more. Decorate your own bookstore however you want. It's a fun hands-on weekend project that can kill boredom and stress.
Students of all ages with an eye for detail, décor, construction, architecture, and miniatures will enjoy the completeness of these kits. Each element has to be built using the pieces provided. What an exercise in patience! True model-builders will want to do them all! I like that you can select from a variety of levels, from a wee kitchen-corner setting to a complete greenhouse build. Instructions are image-based with very little reading.
I used to have actual dollhouses that were a 1:12 scale (one inch in the dollhouse equaled one foot in real life). The kits seem close to this scale. While the separate kits do not assemble to create an actual dollhouse, you could display them on a bookshelf and create the sense of a dollhouse-type project. You could have a high school art student add a kit as an element of an art credit.
If you have a child who can focus for a long time, they may want to work on their kit non-stop! However, most will choose to complete one or two components at a time. Materials are often cardstock, wood, fabric, with some metal and occasional plastic. Any batteries for lights are included, as well as adhesives and paint. You will need your own scissors. The many small parts make these not safe for young children.
There are currently 3 sizes of kits. The smaller kits in green boxes are the simplest. Light blue boxes are medium size with intermediate challenge. And the largest kits are the most detailed. These are in brown boxes.
